Did you have the recall done?

I haven't, and I'm even more torn. Mine needs the drivers side valve cover gasket (or sealant, whatever it is) replaced for a slight oil leak and also needs the clutch/TOB replaced. Valve cover is free with the recall, and the clutch would be parts cost only.
So I can let them do it and hope it's fine, or I can pay a shop I trust to pull the engine to do the gasket and clutch, and at that point it'll be getting a new engine since mine has ~176k kms and over 50 track days on it.
I'm leaning towards chancing it since the absolute worst case is it spins a bearing after they "fix" it and I have to pay another shop to swap the engine anyway.
